Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johanson) are two Americans in Tokyo. Bob ia a movie star in town to shoot whiskey commercial, while Charlotte is a young woman tagging along with her workaholic photographer husband (Giovanni Ribisi). Unable to sleep, Bob and Charlotte cross paths one night in luxury hotel bar. This chance meeting soon becomes a surprising friendship. Charlotte and Bob venture through Tokyo, having often hilarious encounters with its citizens, and ultimately discover a new belief in life's possibilities. Shot entirely on location in Japan, Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation is a valentine to the nature of close friendships and to the city of Tokyo. Ms. Copolla's film, from her orginal screenplay, contemplates the unexpected connections we make that might not last - yet stay with us forever.
